HYTEXT brings hypertext -- the latest development in computer
learning and information retrieval -- within the means of every
interested author, teacher or electronic publisher.

HYTEXT, using the new hypertext technique and electronic texts, may be
the solution to the age old problem of forcing a reader to wade through
an article or book sequentially, line-by-line, page-by-page.  HYTEXT
allows for skipping, dodging and darting along a reader's interest or
learning curve.

Hypertext enables an author of computerized texts to designate specific
words as hot words, highlight them in the text, and link them to
related topics, footnotes, explanations or other programs.  Readers can
then instantly jump off from the main article or chapter at any of the
hot words to delve deeper into subjects they need refresher information
on or want to study further, and then jump back to where they were
reading.

For example, the sentence, "Amphibians of the Amazonian rain forest
have survived relatively unchanged for centuries," might generate
several hypertext jumping off points for the reader interested in
knowing more about amphibians, the Amazon or rain forests.
Authors need no longer worry about being too technical and losing the
beginner, or too simple and boring for the more advanced.  Readers are
able to obtain just the right level of information they need, when they
need it.

Hot words are displayed as highlighted text which may be selected using
the cursor control keys.  Readers simply point-and-shoot to go off on
new tangents of learning.  The Enter key is used to jump to
the next topic.  The End key is used to return to a previous topic.

HYTEXT uses simple control codes imbedded in any document to create
hypertext links or scripts.  These scripts are maintained using a text
editor or word processor.  Authoring tools such as file/path info, trace
mode and hot word search are provided.  An individual hypertext may span
multiple files.

Several hypertext levels are supported:

~ Topics containing hot words

~ Cards for notes, definitions, etc.

~ External text to link to other documents

~ External programs to link to other programs
